A Framework for Creative Evolution
From this investigation of creative evolutionary systems, we can construct a
framework that contains five elements (see Figure 1.17):
9 An evolutionary algorithm
9 A genetic representation
9 An embryogeny using components
9 A phenotype representation
9 Fitness function(s) and/or processing of user input
To summarize, a creative evolutionary system requires some kind of evolu-
tionary algorithm to generate new solutions.
